Deal: Sony Xperia XZ1 gets its first discount in the US

Amazon US has cut
the asking price of the Sony Xperia XZ1 from $699 to $649.

The discount
concerns the Black and Moonlit Blue Xperia XZ1's while the Venus Pink and Warm
Silver editions are still at their original $699 level.

That starting price was considered steep
given the Xperia XZ1's unimpressive on-paperspecs - the 5.2-inch
1080p screen that's neither AMOLED nor bezelless, the smallish battery and the
lack of a fingerprint scanner for the US market.

If those "faults" don't bother you
the Xperia XZ1 is still a solid smartphone that's highlighted by a capable
high-res camera with 960fps slow-mo video.
